Yea im sure it is awesome but right now the current setup should be fine, i need to use the money that would cost on other pressing issues on the car (I.E. not be slow as hell)

How about the body? That flat paint on the 1/4's looks like ass :lol:

Are you going to +T it? Swapping in a 700 series B230FT & EMS would be cheap & effective. You can always add the 16V head, etc,, DTR

It is turbo , and ya the undercoat is ugly

Went back & looked at the earlier pics, hadn't noticed the 'turbo' emblem in the night pics. :rolleyes:

84.5 should have factory intercooler.

Ditching the B21FT D-Jet for the B230FT LH would make a significant improvement, get the 90- exhaust manifold & later turbo. Also the Turbo+ kit used w/LH2.2 would help.

There's always the nitrous option - I did a 50 wetshot on my '85 245TI, but it will rip the rear suspension & diff apart :lol:

It all depends on the rear end honestly. Josh on t-bricks is running into the 12's on a stock rear end IIRC.

Kind of luck of the draw...

And the b21ft's were k-jet not d-jet. The b21 isn't a terrible engine. And with a 7:1 CR you can run some serious boost on the bottom end. I'd like to see 20 PSI on the b21ft with either the K24 or a 50 trim. The red blocks are just a decent platform and you don't realllly need to do much to them to make some quick power.

I meant K-Jet :rolleyes:

I meant the rear won't hold up to heavy nitrous use - any stock turbo setup won't hurt it.

Oh no doubt... but Josh has taken it a little further than that :-)
